Description

共鳴型非接触給電システムResonant contactless power supply system
　本発明は共鳴型非接触給電システムに係り、詳しくは受電側に２次電池を備えた共鳴型非接触給電システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a resonance type non-contact power supply system, and more particularly to a resonance type non-contact power supply system including a secondary battery on the power receiving side.
　共鳴型非接触給電システムが、交流電源の電力を受電側に効率良く給電（供給）するには、交流電源から電力を効率良く共鳴系に給電することが必要になる。共鳴型非接触電力給電システムによる効率良い給電のためには、予め設定された共鳴系の共鳴周波数において、共鳴系の入力インピーダンスに交流電源（高周波電源）の出力インピーダンスが整合（マッチング）している必要がある。しかし、両インピーダンスの整合が行われた後に、給電側（送電側）と受電側との間に異物が存在する状態になると、インピーダンス不整合となり給電が効率良く行われない。 In order for the resonance-type non-contact power feeding system to efficiently feed (supply) the power of the AC power source to the power receiving side, it is necessary to efficiently feed the power from the AC power source to the resonance system. For efficient power supply by the resonance type non-contact power supply system, the output impedance of the AC power supply (high frequency power supply) is matched with the input impedance of the resonance system at a preset resonance frequency of the resonance system. There is a need. However, if a foreign object exists between the power feeding side (power transmission side) and the power receiving side after matching both impedances, impedance mismatch occurs and power feeding is not performed efficiently.
　従来、１次側の高周波発振回路を内蔵した電源装置と、前記電源装置に電磁的に結合する本体機器とからなる非接触型充電装置が知られている。本体機器は、前記高周波発振回路の高周波出力による電磁誘導で得られる２次出力によって、蓄電池を充電する。このような非接触型充電装置に関して、たとえば特許文献１は、本体機器が電源装置に正常に装着されているか否かを判断する判断手段を提案する。すなわち本体機器が電源装置に正常に装着されている場合には、設計通りのインピーダンス整合によって１次コイルに所定の電力が流れる。一方、位置ずれ等によって電源装置への本体機器の装着状態が不良である場合や、電源装置からの本体機器の脱落によって電源装置に本体機器が装着されていない場合、あるいは電源装置が本体機器を装着するために有する本体機器装着部の凹所に導電性異物が誤って置かれた場合等には、前記文献の判断手段は、インピーダンスダンス不整合によって１次コイルに流れる電流が減少することで異常の発生を判断する。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a non-contact type charging device is known that includes a power supply device incorporating a primary-side high-frequency oscillation circuit and a main device that is electromagnetically coupled to the power supply device. The main device charges the storage battery with a secondary output obtained by electromagnetic induction by the high frequency output of the high frequency oscillation circuit. With regard to such a non-contact charging device, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a determination unit that determines whether or not the main device is normally attached to the power supply device. That is, when the main device is normally attached to the power supply device, predetermined power flows through the primary coil by impedance matching as designed. On the other hand, if the main unit is not properly attached to the power supply due to misalignment, etc., or if the main unit is not installed in the power supply due to the main unit being removed from the power supply, or the power supply When a conductive foreign object is mistakenly placed in the recess of the main device mounting portion for mounting, the judgment means of the above literature is because the current flowing through the primary coil decreases due to impedance mismatch mismatch. Determine the occurrence of an abnormality.

　このように前記文献の判断手段は、本体機器と電源装置との間に誤って異物が置かれた場合には、１次コイルに流れる電流が減少することを利用することで、異常が生じていると判断する。しかし、前記文献は、電源装置の本体機器装着部に正しく本体機器が装着された後に、電源装置（給電側）と本体機器（受電側）との間に異物が存在する状態になる事態に関しては、何ら配慮していない。 As described above, the judging means of the above literature uses the fact that the current flowing through the primary coil decreases when a foreign object is mistakenly placed between the main device and the power supply device, thereby causing an abnormality. Judge that However, the above document relates to a situation in which a foreign object exists between the power supply device (power supply side) and the main device (power reception side) after the main device is correctly attached to the main device attachment portion of the power supply device. , No consideration.

When the absolute value of the difference between the estimated impedance value and the current impedance value, which is the current impedance value of the secondary battery, is greater than a threshold value, the determination unit determines that a foreign object is the primary resonance coil and the It is comprised so that it may judge that it exists between secondary side resonance coils.
　この発明では、充電状態検知部によって２次電池の充電状態が検知され、インピーダンス推定部によって充電状態検知部の検知信号に基づき２次電池のインピーダンス値が推定される。そして、判断部は、インピーダンス推定部によって推定されたインピーダンス推定値と、現在の２次電池のインピーダンス値との差の絶対値が閾値より大きい場合に、異物が１次側共鳴コイルと２次側共鳴コイルとの間に存在すると判断する。したがって、判断部は、給電側と受電側との間に送電に悪影響を与える異物の存在を、専用のセンサを設けずに検出することができる。 In this invention, the charge state of the secondary battery is detected by the charge state detection unit, and the impedance value of the secondary battery is estimated by the impedance estimation unit based on the detection signal of the charge state detection unit. When the absolute value of the difference between the impedance estimated value estimated by the impedance estimating unit and the current impedance value of the secondary battery is larger than the threshold value, the determination unit determines that the foreign matter is the primary resonance coil and the secondary side. It is judged that it exists between the resonance coils. Therefore, the determination unit can detect the presence of a foreign object that adversely affects power transmission between the power feeding side and the power receiving side without providing a dedicated sensor.

　２次側整合器としての２次整合器２２は、可変リアクタンスとしての２つの２次可変コンデンサ２９，３０と２次インダクタ３１とから構成されている。２次インダクタ３１は、両２次可変コンデンサ２９，３０間に接続されている。一方の２次可変コンデンサ２９は２次コイル２１ａに並列に接続され、他方の２次可変コンデンサ３０は整流器２３に接続されている。２次可変コンデンサ２９，３０の容量が変更されることで、２次整合器２２のインピーダンスが変更される。２次可変コンデンサ２９，３０はそれぞれ、たとえばモータによって駆動される図示しない回転シャフトを有する公知の構成であり、モータが車載コントローラ２６からの駆動信号によって駆動されることで、２次可変コンデンサ２９，３０の容量はそれぞれ変更される。 The secondary matching unit 22 as a secondary side matching unit is composed of two secondary variable capacitors 29 and 30 and a secondary inductor 31 as variable reactances. The secondary inductor 31 is connected between the secondary variable capacitors 29 and 30. One secondary variable capacitor 29 is connected in parallel to the secondary coil 21 a, and the other secondary variable capacitor 30 is connected to the rectifier 23. The impedance of the secondary matching unit 22 is changed by changing the capacitances of the secondary variable capacitors 29 and 30. Each of the secondary variable capacitors 29 and 30 has a known configuration having a rotating shaft (not shown) driven by a motor, for example, and the secondary variable capacitors 29 and 30 are driven by a drive signal from the in-vehicle controller 26. Each of the 30 capacities is changed.
　車載コントローラ２６は、車載ＣＰＵ３２と車載記憶装置（メモリ）３３とを備える。車載記憶装置３３は、正常状態における２次電池２５のインピーダンス値を記憶している。この正常状態における２次電池２５のインピーダンス値は、予め試験によって求められ、車載記憶装置３３は、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間の距離が予め設定された状態における２次電池２５の充電状態（ＳＯＣ。Ｓｔａｔｅ　ｏｆ　Ｃｈａｒｇｅ）と２次電池２５のインピーダンスとの関係を示すデータを、マップ又は関係式として記憶している。車載コントローラ２６は、電圧センサ２７の検出信号から、２次電池２５の充電状態を確認する。車載コントローラ２６と電圧センサ２７は、２次電池２５の充電状態を検知する充電状態検知部（充電状態検知手段）を構成する。車載コントローラ２６は、２次電池２５の充電状態と２次電池２５のインピーダンスとの関係を示すデータから、２次電池２５のインピーダンス値を推定する。すなわち車載コントローラ２６は、充電状態検知部の検知信号に基づき２次電池２５のインピーダンス値を推定することで、２次電池２５のインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓを取得するインピーダンス推定部（インピーダンス推定手段）としても機能する。 The in-vehicle controller 26 includes an in-vehicle CPU 32 and an in-vehicle storage device (memory) 33. The in-vehicle storage device 33 stores the impedance value of the secondary battery 25 in a normal state. The impedance value of the secondary battery 25 in the normal state is obtained in advance by a test, and the in-vehicle storage device 33 is in a state in which the distance between the primary side resonance coil 13b and the secondary side resonance coil 21b is set in advance. Data indicating the relationship between the state of charge (SOC. State of Charge) of the secondary battery 25 and the impedance of the secondary battery 25 is stored as a map or a relational expression. The in-vehicle controller 26 confirms the charging state of the secondary battery 25 from the detection signal of the voltage sensor 27. The in-vehicle controller 26 and the voltage sensor 27 constitute a charge state detection unit (charge state detection means) that detects the charge state of the secondary battery 25. The in-vehicle controller 26 estimates the impedance value of the secondary battery 25 from data indicating the relationship between the charged state of the secondary battery 25 and the impedance of the secondary battery 25. In other words, the in-vehicle controller 26 estimates the impedance value of the secondary battery 25 based on the detection signal of the charging state detection unit, thereby serving as an impedance estimation unit (impedance estimation unit) that acquires the impedance estimation value Zs of the secondary battery 25. Function.
　具体的には車載記憶装置３３は、予め試験によって求めた２次電池２５のインピーダンスと充電電力との関係を示すデータを、マップ又は関係式として記憶している。車載コントローラ２６は、このデータを用いて充電時における充電電力から、２次電池２５の現在のインピーダンス値としてのインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒを求める。そして車載コントローラ２６は、インピーダンス推定部によって推定されたインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓと、２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒとの間の差の絶対値が閾値よりも大きい場合に、異物が１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間に存在すると判断する。すなわち車載コントローラ２６は、異物が１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間に存在するか否かを判断する判断部（判断手段）としても機能する。閾値は、車両が所定の充電停止位置に停止した状態で給電設備１０から移動体設備２０へと非接触で給電が行われるときの充電停止位置の誤差や充電状態の検出誤差等に起因するインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓの変動幅よりも、大きな値に設定される。 Specifically, the in-vehicle storage device 33 stores data indicating the relationship between the impedance of the secondary battery 25 and the charging power obtained by a test in advance as a map or a relational expression. The in-vehicle controller 26 obtains the current impedance value Zr as the current impedance value of the secondary battery 25 from the charging power at the time of charging using this data. The in-vehicle controller 26 determines that the foreign object is in the primary resonance when the absolute value of the difference between the estimated impedance value Zs estimated by the impedance estimation unit and the current impedance value Zr of the secondary battery 25 is larger than the threshold value. It is determined that the coil exists between the coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b. That is, the vehicle-mounted controller 26 also functions as a determination unit (determination unit) that determines whether or not a foreign object exists between the primary side resonance coil 13b and the secondary side resonance coil 21b. The threshold value is an impedance caused by an error in a charging stop position, a charging state detection error, or the like when power is supplied in a non-contact manner from the power supply facility 10 to the mobile facility 20 with the vehicle stopped at a predetermined charge stop position. A value larger than the fluctuation range of the estimated value Zs is set.
　次に、前記のように構成された共鳴型非接触給電システムの作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of the resonance type non-contact power feeding system configured as described above will be described.
　車両に搭載された２次電池２５を充電する場合、ユーザたとえば車両の乗員は、車両を給電設備１０の所定の充電停止位置に停止させる。車両が給電設備１０の所定の充電停止位置に停止した後、車載コントローラ２６は、電源コントローラ１４に給電要求信号を送信する。電源コントローラ１４は、給電要求信号を受信すると、給電を開始する。すなわち給電設備１０の高周波電源１１から１次コイル１３ａに共鳴周波数の交流電圧が印加され、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂから電力が非接触共鳴で２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂへ供給される。２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂが受電した電力は、２次整合器２２と整流器２３を介して充電器２４に供給され、その結果、充電器２４に接続されている２次電池２５が充電される。 When charging the secondary battery 25 mounted on the vehicle, a user, for example, a vehicle occupant stops the vehicle at a predetermined charging stop position of the power supply facility 10. After the vehicle stops at a predetermined charging stop position of the power supply facility 10, the in-vehicle controller 26 transmits a power supply request signal to the power supply controller 14. When receiving the power supply request signal, the power supply controller 14 starts power supply. That is, an AC voltage having a resonance frequency is applied from the high frequency power source 11 of the power supply facility 10 to the primary coil 13a, and power is supplied from the primary side resonance coil 13b to the secondary side resonance coil 21b by non-contact resonance. The electric power received by the secondary resonance coil 21b is supplied to the charger 24 via the secondary matching device 22 and the rectifier 23, and as a result, the secondary battery 25 connected to the charger 24 is charged.
　車両に搭載された２次電池２５を充電する場合、車両は、給電設備１０と移動体設備２０との間で効率良く非接触給電が行われる充電停止位置に正確に停止するとは限らない。そのため、充電に先立って、１次整合器１２と２次整合器２２の調整が行われてもよい。 When charging the secondary battery 25 mounted on the vehicle, the vehicle does not always stop at the charging stop position where the non-contact power supply is efficiently performed between the power supply facility 10 and the mobile facility 20. Therefore, the primary matching unit 12 and the secondary matching unit 22 may be adjusted prior to charging.
　２次電池２５の充電時には、２次電池２５の充電状態（ＳＯＣ）が変化することによって、共鳴系の共鳴周波数における共鳴系の入力インピーダンスが変化する。そのため、高周波電源１１と共鳴系の入力インピーダンスとの整合が取れなくなり、共鳴系から高周波電源１１への反射電力が増えてしまい、その結果として給電設備１０から移動体設備２０へ電力を効率良く供給（給電）することができなくなる。充電時に２次電池２５の充電状態が変化しても、給電設備１０から移動体設備２０へ電力が効率良く供給されることで２次電池２５の充電が効率良く行われるように、車載コントローラ２６は、充電中、２次電池２５の充電状態に対応して２次整合器２２のインピーダンスを適切な値に調整する。 When the secondary battery 25 is charged, the state of charge (SOC) of the secondary battery 25 changes, so that the input impedance of the resonance system at the resonance frequency of the resonance system changes. Therefore, the high frequency power supply 11 and the input impedance of the resonance system cannot be matched, and the reflected power from the resonance system to the high frequency power supply 11 is increased. As a result, power is efficiently supplied from the power supply facility 10 to the mobile facility 20. (Power supply) cannot be performed. Even if the charging state of the secondary battery 25 changes during charging, the in-vehicle controller 26 is configured to efficiently charge the secondary battery 25 by efficiently supplying power from the power supply facility 10 to the mobile facility 20. During charging, the impedance of the secondary matching unit 22 is adjusted to an appropriate value corresponding to the charged state of the secondary battery 25.
　図２のフローチャートは、車載コントローラ２６が所定周期で実行する異物有無の判断処理を示す。車載コントローラ２６は、ステップＳ１で電圧センサ２７と電流センサ２８それぞれの検出信号が入力される。車載コントローラ２６は、ステップＳ２で電圧センサ２７の検出信号から、２次電池２５の充電状態を検知し、ステップＳ３で２次電池２５の充電状態と２次電池２５のインピーダンスとの関係を示すデータから、２次電池２５のインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓを推定（算出、演算）する。さらに車載コントローラ２６は、ステップＳ４で電圧センサ２７と電流センサ２８それぞれの検出信号から２次電池２５の充電電力を算出し、ステップＳ５で２次電池２５のインピーダンスと充電電力との関係を示すデータを用いることで、２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒを算出する。 The flowchart in FIG. 2 shows a foreign object presence / absence determination process executed by the in-vehicle controller 26 at a predetermined cycle. The in-vehicle controller 26 receives detection signals of the voltage sensor 27 and the current sensor 28 in step S1. The in-vehicle controller 26 detects the charging state of the secondary battery 25 from the detection signal of the voltage sensor 27 in step S2, and the data indicating the relationship between the charging state of the secondary battery 25 and the impedance of the secondary battery 25 in step S3. From this, the estimated impedance value Zs of the secondary battery 25 is estimated (calculated, calculated). Further, the in-vehicle controller 26 calculates the charging power of the secondary battery 25 from the detection signals of the voltage sensor 27 and the current sensor 28 in step S4, and data indicating the relationship between the impedance of the secondary battery 25 and the charging power in step S5. Is used to calculate the current impedance value Zr of the secondary battery 25.
　次にステップＳ６で、車載コントローラ２６は、ステップＳ３において２次電池２５の充電状態から推定したインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓと、ステップＳ５において２次電池２５の充電電力から求めたインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒとの間の差の絶対値（ |Ｚｓ－Ｚｒ| ）が閾値よりも大きいか否かを判断する。車載コントローラ２６は、このようなインピーダンス差の絶対値が閾値以下であれば異物が存在しないと判断して処理を終了し、インピーダンス差の絶対値が閾値よりも大きければ異物が１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間に存在すると判断してステップＳ７に進む。車載コントローラ２６は、ステップＳ７で報知装置３４（図１に示す）に、異物存在を示す異常報知指令信号を出力する。報知装置３４が異物存在の報知を行った後、処理を終了する。報知装置３４は、乗員が目視によって確認可能な表示を提供する表示装置が好ましいが、聴覚によって確認可能な音声を提供する報知装置等であってもよい。 Next, in step S6, the in-vehicle controller 26 determines between the impedance estimated value Zs estimated from the charged state of the secondary battery 25 in step S3 and the current impedance value Zr obtained from the charged power of the secondary battery 25 in step S5. It is determined whether or not the absolute value of the difference (| Zs−Zr |) is larger than the threshold value. If the absolute value of the impedance difference is equal to or smaller than the threshold value, the in-vehicle controller 26 determines that there is no foreign object and terminates the process. If the absolute value of the impedance difference is larger than the threshold value, the foreign object is detected as the primary resonance coil. It judges that it exists between 13b and the secondary side resonance coil 21b, and progresses to step S7. The in-vehicle controller 26 outputs an abnormality notification command signal indicating the presence of a foreign object to the notification device 34 (shown in FIG. 1) in step S7. After the notification device 34 notifies the presence of a foreign object, the process ends. The notification device 34 is preferably a display device that provides a display that can be confirmed visually by an occupant, but may be a notification device that provides a sound that can be confirmed by hearing.
　１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間に異物が存在する場合、２次電池２５のインピーダンスに限らず、共鳴系の他の箇所、たとえば１次コイル１３ａの両端で測定した共鳴系（１次コイル１３ａ、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂ、２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂ、および２次コイル２１ａ）全体の入力インピーダンスも変化する。しかし、２次電池２５のインピーダンスは同じ充電状態であれば、異物以外の影響を受け難いので、共鳴系の他の箇所のインピーダンスを基に異物の有無を判断するよりも、２次電池２５のインピーダンスを基に異物の有無を判断する方が異物の有無判断の信頼性が高くなる。 When foreign matter exists between the primary side resonance coil 13b and the secondary side resonance coil 21b, the measurement is performed not only on the impedance of the secondary battery 25 but also at other parts of the resonance system, for example, at both ends of the primary coil 13a. The input impedance of the entire resonance system (primary coil 13a, primary side resonance coil 13b, secondary side resonance coil 21b, and secondary coil 21a) also changes. However, if the impedance of the secondary battery 25 is the same state of charge, it is difficult to be affected by other than foreign objects. Therefore, rather than judging the presence or absence of foreign objects based on the impedance of other parts of the resonance system, It is more reliable to determine the presence / absence of foreign matter based on the impedance.
　車載コントローラ２６は、たとえば２次電池２５の電圧が所定電圧になった時点からの経過時間によって充電完了を判断し、充電が完了すると、電源コントローラ１４に充電完了信号を送信する。電源コントローラ１４は、充電完了信号を受信すると電力伝送を終了する。このように本実施形態は、２次電池２５の充電状態（ＳＯＣ）から推定したインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓが、インピーダンス現在値Ｚｒから大きく異なる場合に、異物が給電側と受電側との間に入り込んでいると判断する。 The in-vehicle controller 26 determines the completion of charging based on the elapsed time from the time when the voltage of the secondary battery 25 becomes a predetermined voltage, for example, and transmits a charging completion signal to the power supply controller 14 when the charging is completed. When the power controller 14 receives the charging completion signal, the power controller 14 ends the power transmission. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the estimated impedance value Zs estimated from the state of charge (SOC) of the secondary battery 25 is significantly different from the current impedance value Zr, foreign matter enters between the power feeding side and the power receiving side. Judge that
　この実施形態は、以下に示す利点を有する。 This embodiment has the following advantages.
　（１）共鳴型非接触給電システムは給電設備１０と移動体設備２０を備え、給電設備１０は交流電源（高周波電源１１）と、交流電源から電力の供給を受ける１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂとを備え、移動体設備２０は、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂからの電力を受電する２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂを備える。移動体設備２０はさらに、２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂが受電した電力を整流する整流器２３と、整流器２３によって整流された電力が供給される充電器２４と、充電器２４に接続された２次電池２５と、２次電池２５の充電状態を検知する充電状態検知部（充電状態検知手段）と、２次電池２５の充電状態から２次電池２５のインピーダンス値を推定するインピーダンス推定部とを備えている。さらに共鳴型非接触給電システムは、インピーダンス推定部によって推定されたインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓと、２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒとの間の差の絶対値が閾値よりも大きい場合に、異物が１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間に存在すると判断する判断部（車載コントローラ２６）を備えている。したがって本実施形態は、給電設備１０から移動体設備２０への送電に悪影響を与える異物が給電側（給電設備１０）と受電側（移動体設備２０）との間に存在することを、異物検出専用のセンサを設けずに検出することができる。 (1) The resonance-type non-contact power feeding system includes a power feeding facility 10 and a moving body facility 20, and the power feeding facility 10 includes an AC power source (high frequency power source 11) and a primary resonance coil 13b that receives power from the AC power source. The mobile facility 20 includes a secondary resonance coil 21b that receives power from the primary resonance coil 13b. The mobile equipment 20 further includes a rectifier 23 that rectifies the power received by the secondary resonance coil 21 b, a charger 24 that is supplied with the power rectified by the rectifier 23, and a secondary battery connected to the charger 24. 25, a charge state detection unit (charge state detection means) for detecting the charge state of the secondary battery 25, and an impedance estimation unit for estimating the impedance value of the secondary battery 25 from the charge state of the secondary battery 25. Yes. Further, the resonance type non-contact power feeding system has a foreign object of 1 when the absolute value of the difference between the estimated impedance value Zs estimated by the impedance estimation unit and the current impedance value Zr of the secondary battery 25 is larger than a threshold value. A determination unit (in-vehicle controller 26) that determines that the secondary resonance coil 21b exists between the secondary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b is provided. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is detected that a foreign object that adversely affects power transmission from the power supply facility 10 to the mobile facility 20 exists between the power supply side (power supply facility 10) and the power reception side (mobile facility 20). Detection can be performed without providing a dedicated sensor.
　（２）車載コントローラ２６は、２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒを、予め試験によって求めた２次電池２５のインピーダンスと２次電池２５の充電電力との関係を示すデータから求める。２次電池２５の充電電力は、２次電池２５の充電時に２次整合器２２を調整する場合に用いられるため、本実施形態は、２次電池２５のインピーダンスを求めるためにのみ２次電池２５の充電電力を検出する必要はない。よって車載コントローラ２６の処理や設計が複雑になることを回避できる。 (2) The in-vehicle controller 26 obtains the current impedance value Zr of the secondary battery 25 from data indicating the relationship between the impedance of the secondary battery 25 and the charging power of the secondary battery 25 obtained in advance by a test. Since the charging power of the secondary battery 25 is used when the secondary matching unit 22 is adjusted when the secondary battery 25 is charged, the present embodiment is used only for obtaining the impedance of the secondary battery 25. There is no need to detect the charging power. Therefore, it is possible to avoid complicated processing and design of the in-vehicle controller 26.
　（３）車載コントローラ２６が１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間での異物の存在を判断すると、報知装置３４は異物存在を報知する。したがって車両の乗員は、異物の存在を認識し易く、必要な対処（たとえば異物の除去）を行い易くなる。 (3) When the in-vehicle controller 26 determines the presence of a foreign object between the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b, the notification device 34 notifies the presence of the foreign object. Therefore, it is easy for the vehicle occupant to recognize the presence of foreign matter and to take necessary measures (for example, removal of foreign matter).
　実施形態は、前記に限定されず、次のように具体化してもよい。 Embodiments are not limited to the above, and may be embodied as follows.
　車載コントローラ２６は、２次電池２５の充電状態を電圧センサ２７の検出信号に基づき検知する代わりに、２次電池２５の充電経過と放電経過とから算出してもよい。２次電池２５の充電経過と放電経過とに基づき２次電池２５の充電状態を算出する方が、車載コントローラ２６は２次電池２５の充電状態を精度良く検出することが可能になる。 The in-vehicle controller 26 may calculate from the charging process and the discharging process of the secondary battery 25 instead of detecting the charging state of the secondary battery 25 based on the detection signal of the voltage sensor 27. The in-vehicle controller 26 can detect the charging state of the secondary battery 25 with higher accuracy by calculating the charging state of the secondary battery 25 based on the charging process and discharging process of the secondary battery 25.
　２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒは、予め試験によって求めた２次電池２５のインピーダンスと充電電力との関係を示すデータから求められる代わりに、他の方法で求めてもよい。たとえば車載記憶装置３３は、２次電池２５の充電時に２次整合器２２の整合調整が行われた状態の高周波電源１１の出力と、２次電池２５のインピーダンスとの関係を示すデータを記憶しておく。そして車載コントローラ２６は、高周波電源１１の出力を検出することで、２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒを求めてもよい。 The current impedance value Zr of the secondary battery 25 may be obtained by another method instead of being obtained from data indicating the relationship between the impedance of the secondary battery 25 and the charging power obtained in advance by a test. For example, the in-vehicle storage device 33 stores data indicating the relationship between the output of the high frequency power supply 11 and the impedance of the secondary battery 25 in a state where the matching of the secondary matching unit 22 is adjusted when the secondary battery 25 is charged. Keep it. And the vehicle-mounted controller 26 may obtain | require the impedance present value Zr of the secondary battery 25 by detecting the output of the high frequency power supply 11. FIG.
　車載コントローラ２６は、異物が存在するか否かの閾値として第１閾値と、第１閾値よりも大きな第２閾値とを備えてもよい。たとえば車載コントローラ２６は、インピーダンス推定値Ｚｓとインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒとの間の差の絶対値が第２閾値よりも大きい場合に、給電設備１０からの給電を停止させるようにしてもよい。たとえば第２閾値は、充電を継続すると共鳴系から高周波電源１１への反射電力が大き過ぎて充電効率の低下が著しいような場合の前記絶対値の値に設定される。車載コントローラ２６は、前記絶対値が第２閾値よりも大きいと判断すると、電源コントローラ１４に無線で判断結果を送信し、電源コントローラ１４は、判断結果を受信すると充電を中止するとともに、たとえば異常発生報知部（異常発生報知手段。図示せず）を駆動する。 The in-vehicle controller 26 may include a first threshold value and a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value as a threshold value indicating whether or not a foreign object exists. For example, the in-vehicle controller 26 may stop the power supply from the power supply facility 10 when the absolute value of the difference between the estimated impedance value Zs and the current impedance value Zr is larger than the second threshold value. For example, the second threshold value is set to the absolute value in the case where the reflected power from the resonance system to the high-frequency power source 11 is too large when charging is continued and the charging efficiency is significantly reduced. When the in-vehicle controller 26 determines that the absolute value is larger than the second threshold value, the in-vehicle controller 26 wirelessly transmits a determination result to the power supply controller 14. When receiving the determination result, the power supply controller 14 stops charging and, for example, an abnormality occurs. An informing part (abnormality informing means, not shown) is driven.
　インピーダンス推定部によって推定されたインピーダンス推定値Ｚｓと、２次電池２５のインピーダンス現在値Ｚｒとの間の差の絶対値が閾値よりも大きい場合に異物が１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間に存在すると判断する判断部を、給電設備１０（たとえば電源コントローラ１４）に設けてもよい。且つ異物の存在を報知する報知装置３４も、給電設備１０に設けてもよい。報知装置は、車両の乗員が確認し易い位置で給電設備１０に設けられる。このように報知装置を給電設備１０に設けた場合、たとえば各車両に異物の存在を報知する報知装置を設けるような場合に比べて、設置される報知装置の数が少なくてよい。 When the absolute value of the difference between the estimated impedance value Zs estimated by the impedance estimator and the current impedance value Zr of the secondary battery 25 is larger than the threshold value, the foreign matter is in the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance. A determination unit that determines that it exists between the coil 21 b and the coil 21 b may be provided in the power supply facility 10 (for example, the power supply controller 14). In addition, a notification device 34 that notifies the presence of a foreign object may also be provided in the power supply facility 10. The notification device is provided in the power supply facility 10 at a position where the passenger of the vehicle can easily check. When the notification device is provided in the power supply facility 10 as described above, for example, the number of the notification devices to be installed may be smaller than in the case where a notification device that notifies the presence of a foreign object is provided in each vehicle.
　共鳴型非接触給電システムは、給電設備１０と移動体設備２０との間で非接触給電を行うためには、１次コイル１３ａ、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂ、２次コイル２１ａ、および２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂの全てを必須としなくてもよく、少なくとも１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂを備えていればよい。具体的には１次コイル装置１３を、１次コイル１３ａと１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂとで構成する代わりに、１次コイル１３ａを削除し、そして１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂを、１次整合器１２を介して高周波電源１１に接続してもよい。また２次コイル装置２１を、２次コイル２１ａと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとで構成する代わりに、２次コイル２１ａを削除し、２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂを、２次整合器２２を介して整流器２３に接続してもよい。しかし共鳴型非接触給電システムが、１次コイル１３ａ、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂ、２次コイル２１ａ、および２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂの全てを備えた構成の方が、共鳴状態を実現するように調整するのが容易である。さらに、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの距離が大きくなった場合でも、共鳴状態を維持し易いため好ましい。 In order to perform non-contact power supply between the power supply facility 10 and the mobile facility 20, the resonance-type non-contact power supply system includes a primary coil 13a, a primary side resonance coil 13b, a secondary coil 21a, and a secondary side. It is not necessary to make all of the resonance coils 21b indispensable, as long as at least the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b are provided. Specifically, instead of configuring the primary coil device 13 with the primary coil 13a and the primary resonance coil 13b, the primary coil 13a is deleted, and the primary resonance coil 13b is replaced with the primary matching device. 12 may be connected to the high frequency power supply 11. Further, instead of configuring the secondary coil device 21 with the secondary coil 21a and the secondary side resonance coil 21b, the secondary coil 21a is deleted and the secondary side resonance coil 21b is connected via the secondary matching unit 22. You may connect to the rectifier 23. However, the resonance-type non-contact power feeding system is configured so as to realize a resonance state when the primary coil 13a, the primary resonance coil 13b, the secondary coil 21a, and the secondary resonance coil 21b are all provided. Easy to adjust. Furthermore, even when the distance between the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b is large, it is preferable because the resonance state can be easily maintained.
　移動体としての車両は、走行駆動力を発生する電動機を備えた車両すなわち電動車両を意味する。つまり本発明が適用される車両は、電気自動車や、電動機とともに内燃機関をさらに動力源として搭載したハイブリッド車や、あるいは車両駆動用の直流電源として２次電池２５とともに燃料電池をさらに搭載した車両等が挙げられる。また移動体としての車両は、運転者を必要とする車両に限らず、無人搬送車でもよい。 A vehicle as a moving body means a vehicle equipped with an electric motor that generates a driving force, that is, an electric vehicle. That is, the vehicle to which the present invention is applied is an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle in which an internal combustion engine is further mounted as a power source together with an electric motor, or a vehicle in which a fuel cell is further mounted together with the secondary battery 25 as a DC power source for driving the vehicle. Is mentioned. Further, the vehicle as the moving body is not limited to a vehicle that requires a driver, and may be an automatic guided vehicle.
　移動体は、車両に限らず、充電時以外は給電設備から離れて移動するものであればよい。たとえば移動体は、ロボットであってもよい。 The moving body is not limited to a vehicle, but may be anything that moves away from the power supply equipment except during charging. For example, the moving body may be a robot.
　１次整合器１２と２次整合器２２は、それぞれ二つの可変コンデンサとインダクタを備えた構成に限らず、インダクタとして可変インダクタを備えた構成にしてもよいし、可変インダクタと二つの非可変コンデンサとからなる構成にしてもよい。 The primary matching device 12 and the secondary matching device 22 are not limited to a configuration including two variable capacitors and an inductor, but may include a variable inductor as an inductor, or a variable inductor and two non-variable capacitors. You may make it the structure which consists of.
　１次整合器１２と２次整合器２２は、それぞれπ型に限らず、Ｔ型やＬ型の整合器であってもよい。 The primary matching unit 12 and the secondary matching unit 22 are not limited to π type, but may be T type or L type matching units.
　高周波電源１１は、出力交流電圧の周波数を変更可能でもよいし、変更不能でもよい。 The high frequency power supply 11 may be capable of changing the frequency of the output AC voltage or may not be able to change it.
　給電設備１０の１次整合器１２を省略してもよい。しかし、１次整合器１２を省略した場合、給電側から電力を効率良く受電側に供給するためには、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂとの間の距離が予め設定された値となるように、移動体を所定の充電停止位置に精度良く停止させる必要がある。 The primary matching unit 12 of the power supply facility 10 may be omitted. However, when the primary matching unit 12 is omitted, a distance between the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b is set in advance in order to efficiently supply power from the power supply side to the power reception side. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the moving body at a predetermined charging stop position with high accuracy so as to obtain the above value.
　１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂに接続されたコンデンサＣを省略してもよいし、２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂに接続されたコンデンサＣを省略してもよい。しかし、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイルにそれぞれコンデンサＣを接続した構成の方が、コンデンサＣを省略した場合に比べて、共鳴周波数を下げることができる。また、共鳴周波数が同じ場合であれば、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂにそれぞれコンデンサＣを接続した構成の方が、コンデンサＣを省略した場合に比べて、１次側共鳴コイル１３ｂと２次側共鳴コイル２１ｂを小型化できる。 The capacitor C connected to the primary resonance coil 13b may be omitted, or the capacitor C connected to the secondary resonance coil 21b may be omitted. However, the configuration in which the capacitor C is connected to the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil can lower the resonance frequency compared to the case where the capacitor C is omitted. If the resonance frequency is the same, the configuration in which the capacitor C is connected to the primary resonance coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b, respectively, has a primary resonance compared to the case where the capacitor C is omitted. The coil 13b and the secondary resonance coil 21b can be reduced in size.
